It was only relatively late in life that I found out that you don't have to eat round a pear in the same way you have to with an apple. Once you've taken off the very top bit with the stalk, you can actually eat straight down from the top - the core bit is actually very small and only at the bottom of the pear. The bit you're left with at the end will be much smaller than the core of an apple.

I'm pretty sure it has come up before, and it's total bollocks. Only rarely is it even slightly awkward to peel a banana the normal way, and if you open it the wrong way, you end up with the shitty bit on the top and you now have to make an effort to get rid of that before eating it.

I read that on some Buzz Feed thing fairly recently. So I tried it and it made no difference at all.

Do you mean that they still "curled up all weird"? Because if so, your Post-It notes must be of inferior quality, as I've never encountered this phenomenon, however I've peeled them off. And I used to sell the things, so I've used not only the branded ones, but also a wide range of imitations, so I know what I'm on about. Honest, I do! I know it sounds arrogant but I have extensive experience in this area.

So I made a video of this a while back just to show you that it's utter bullshit. I've now got around to uploading it: https://vid.me/XaFn

Only just reinstalled Snapchat. I like how you sent your video before my one. GMTA. Your post-it notes must just be of higher quality. Or maybe it's because mine were near the end of the pack which makes them more likely to curl.

Not obvious I suppose, but certain sportspeople's names that I'd only heard said by commentators and then one day see them written and it's completely different from what I expected. Brian Ideye and Van Sinclair come to mind.

That reminded me of last saturday when one of the contestants on the X factor, was murdering Creep by Radiohead my girlfriend said that it sounded like the Hollies Air that I Breathe.
I googled it to find that Radiohead had to give the Hollies songwriters credit as a result of this at the time of it being released as a single.

Just realised my grammatical error there.
You did make 2 + 2 =5 five though.
Still, everything in its right place, eh.
i might of thought you was getting at me.
I don't want to be a paranoid android about it.
Although if you do want to fight about it, you and whose army.

By the by, I doubt if many of you will be able to work out how many Radiohead songs were mentioned .

I can get 6.

Yes I am sure that you managed to prove yourself.
I can't believe you got it right.
Although technically there was seven if you include full stop.
I shan't sulk although I feel letdown

In Ireland we only ever got one monster fact on the back of the Monster Munch packet. It was the cyclops so I assumed the actual crisp thing was an eye with eyelashes. We don't really get Monster Munch anymore and the rival brand Mighty Munch seems to think it's a footprint.

According to this, they're feet. It also makes a big deal of the fact that they're not claws, but feet. But really, they're the same basic part of the anatomy and thinking they're claws when really they're feet is basically correct.
